Flute, Traverso (Baroque transverse flute) lessons

Hello everybody,

I am Reiko. I teach flute and baroque transverse flute.
The flute is a well-known, popular instrument, but what is a baroque transverse flute!?
It is a wooden flute that was played in the 17th and the 18th centuries (roughly) in Europe, so if you are curious how the pieces of J. S. Bach or G. F. Handel sounded at the time they were composed, you can take lessons with baroque transverse flute!
Ever since I first encountered the flute, in my elementary school in Japan, it has been the biggest passion of my life. I studied modern flute and other historical flutes in Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo, Japan, then there followed a Master’s degree in Early Music from the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.
Playing the flute is fun and discovering beautiful music through the flute is a wonderful experience. I would like to guide you to find the best way for you.
I work with young people and older adults, beginners, and experienced musicians.
-Experiment and Explore-
In my lessons, I teach/explain the basics, then students begin experimenting, with my help. How to hold a flute, breathe, practice – to discover what is comfortable and works well for each person. How to use the body and how to approach the music.
And we will explore the Why together. Are you telling a story with the piece? What are you expressing with a flute? Can you learn something about yourself with this practice?
I will help you while you learn. I am your guide and your coach, and I go with you towards your goal.
Do you think you don’t have time to learn to play the flute?
Don’t be afraid to try it first; you can always start. You can always stop.
You think you don’t have time to practice, but there are moments every day – just 20 minutes is enough – to improve on your own over time, and I will show you how. Enjoy the flute bit by bit.

Bonus: We can play together, in person, or even via zoom. I call it “zoom karaoke.” Playing together gives your learning a boost.

Extra information

If you still do not own the instrument, it is possible to rent it from music shops.
Usually Traverso (Baroque transverse flute) is made of wood but it is also available in resin which is easier to maintain.

Flute, historical flutes, recorder (with optional music theory)
Do you like music? Are you thinking about playing the flute? Or are you already a flute player and you wish to become advanced? Do you need someone to help you to prepare for music exams? I am offering lessons in playing the traverse modern flute as well as historical flutes and music theory at any level, from the beginner to the professional. This course, based on more than 10 years of experience in teaching, offers private lessons where everyone can find their unique contact with their instrument, deepen their relationship with music and develop a unique way of expressing themselves through music making. I teach from international method books and adjust my methods to the individual needs of each student. Taking two courses of the Alexander technique also helped me to develop an understanding of the essential connection between the body and our minds. This awareness can be very helpful not only for our musical performances, but also for our everyday lives. I believe that my already 10 years of teaching practice has shaped my teaching into a stage where everyone can learn what they need. I am looking forward to meeting you in my course!

Laura
Transverse flute beginner, intermediate and advanced level
Learning to play the flute offers many benefits, regardless of your skill level. On a personal level, playing the instrument develops discipline and focus, as mastering the flute requires precise coordination between breathing, fingering, and embouchure. Additionally, playing the flute can help sharpen your musical ear, improve your sensitivity to rhythm, and strengthen your skills in reading sheet music. These skills can be applied to other aspects of life, such as managing stress or improving your memory. Socially and artistically, the transverse flute is an extremely versatile instrument that can be integrated into a wide variety of ensembles, such as orchestras, chamber music groups, and modern ensembles. This diversity offers many opportunities for collaboration with other musicians and exploration of varied repertoires, ranging from baroque to jazz. Furthermore, playing the flute fosters creativity and personal expression, allowing each flutist to interpret works with their own musical sensibility.

Flute Lessons - with Joy, Beauty, Stories and History Facts!
We all need something in our lives that sparks joy, rewards commitment, and brings people together; why not access this through music? As a teacher, I love seeing students feel joy at playing the flute and making their first sounds when they understand how a composer wrote their music and when I share some fun history facts to help inspire interpretation. Ultimately this class is for those who want to improve their skills on flutes of various kinds - modern flute (dwarsfluit), baroque flute (traverso), and recorder (blokfluit). It includes a range of beginner musicians until advanced, younger children and senior adults. You can choose which music you want to play or I can help you select some pieces. More specific instructions in the lessons will center around; how best to interpret and express a piece of music, which flute techniques are required for this expression, and how this relates to the human body. Please check my website for additional information, Thank you for visiting.

Learn how to master tue flute no matter of your playing level
A fun class to lear all you wanted to know about flute playing and also flute maintenance. I have many years experience in teaching flute for all levels of playing. I van accommodate the class for each student's needs depending on the level and aspirations of each player.

Laura
Flute and Music Theory tuition for students of all levels
I have played the flute for more than 20 years, and have been teaching since 2011. I offer flute lessons to children aged 8 and up, and adults at all levels from beginners to post Grade 8. I also teach recorder to younger beginners- I find this is a good stepping stone for younger children as it's more comfortable for smaller beginners to hold, and easier to make a sound on. Learn to pass exams or just for fun- many of my students achieve highly in ABRSM and Trinity grades, but some prefer not to take exams and this is fine too. Whatever your level, one to one tuition means that I can tailor my teaching to your needs as a flute player, and my teaching takes into account the reasons you learn an instrument, encompassing a wide variety of repertoire. I also teach music theory- lots of students come to me to help prepare for Grade 5 theory, and I also teach higher theory grades.

Flute Lessons For Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Students
This class is for students of any age who wish to learn the transverse flute. Learning an instrument takes time and commitment, but it's hugely rewarding - and it doesn't have to be boring! I have experience teaching students of all age and levels and I specialise in tailoring my teaching to meet the individual needs of each student. Beginner flute lessons are suitable for students learning from scratch or those already playing up to about ABRSM Grade 2 level. In beginner flute lessons, you will learn the fundamentals of making a sound and play your first notes, as well as the basics of reading music. As lessons progress, you will learn your first short pieces and maybe even prepare for graded exams. Intermediate lessons are suitable for students already playing at about ABRSM Grade 3 to Grade 5 levels. In these lessons, you will build on what you already know to expand your abilities on the flute. You will learn more about different musical styles and techniques and develop more confidence to express yourself through music. Advanced lessons are for students already playing at about ABRSM Grade 6 and beyond. Depending on each student, lessons could involve growing more skills to take the advanced grade or diploma exams exams through to learning the skills to put together a recital programme or prepare for a music college audition. There is wide scope in these lessons to focus on your areas of interest, while still keeping an eye on the solid foundations of good flute technique and musicianship.
